Wat is een squashing function?

Antwoord: Artikel 5 F. vd Velde

The function is a “squashing” function because its limits the output of the perceptron between two values (0 and 1 in this case), irrespective of the magnitude of
its input (w1 and w2 could be arbitrarily large).

Through squashing functions, output can be disected. (Info reduction to yes or no)

Without squashing functions as output functions for the hidden layer neurons, a multilayer feedforward network would reduce to a (two-layer) perceptron.
